Skarsvag is the world’s northernmost fishing village, located in Nordkapp Municipality, Finnmark County, Norway. The settlement is located on the island of Magerøya’s northern coast. In the waters north of Magerøya, the local fishing fleet predominantly fishes for cod. Meet some of these local fisherman and learn about their daily lives in the Arctic, the treasures of the Barents Sea, and northern culture. Skarsvag has roughly 60 residents and is located about 14 kilometers from the famed North Cape. Skarsvag Church may be found in the settlement.
Kirkeporten translates as “Churchgate.” This geological wonder is a fissure several meters wide in a cliff overhang that is formed like a large gate. The 2.5-kilometer walk from Skarsvag to Kirkeporten takes 20–25 minutes. Everyone will enjoy the easy walk. The midnight sun streams through the gate of the rock between midnight and two a.m. on summer nights, which is spectacular.
The North Cape is a 307-meter-high cliff on the northern coast of the island of Mageroya in Western Finnmark, Northern Norway. It is widely regarded as Europe’s northernmost point. The North Cape is a spectacular adventure with amazing sights that everyone must see.
